Question

Nature is ____________ and unchangeable, and it is ____________ as to whether its hidden reasons and ____________ are ____________ to man or not. The option that best fills the blanks in the above sentence would be:

• A. relentless, indifferent, actions, understandable
• B. persistent, heartless, actions, comprehensible
• C. inexorable, apathetic, activities, explicable
• D. harsh, indifferent, actions, understandable
• E. inescapable, unconcerned, activities, intelligible

Hint:

In sentence completion, check if the chosen words capture both the \emph{tone} and \emph{context}. Words like “relentless” and “indifferent” reflect nature’s neutrality and power more strongly than weaker synonyms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: First blank.
The sentence begins: \[ \text{Nature is __________ and unchangeable...} \] The best adjective here is

relentless because it captures the ceaseless, unyielding, and intense quality of nature. “Harsh” is possible, but “relentless” better conveys the vast, powerful, and unchangeable aspect of nature.

Step 2: Second blank.
\[ \text{...and it is __________ as to whether...} \] Nature does not show concern or bias. The correct word is

indifferent, which implies neutrality and lack of partiality.

Step 3: Third blank.
\[ \text{...its hidden reasons and __________...} \] “Actions” fits logically, since nature’s actions (like storms, floods, seasons) may or may not be understandable to man. “Activities” is less idiomatic here.

Step 4: Fourth blank.
\[ \text{...are __________ to man or not.} \] The appropriate word is

understandable, meaning capable of being comprehended.

Step 5: Verify sentence.
\[ \text{Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.} \] This is logical, meaningful, and grammatically correct. \[ \boxed{\text{relentless, indifferent, actions, understandable}} \]
